SINGAPORE MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY
POSITIONS IN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND
HUMAN RESOURCES – RANK OPEN
Dear Colleagues,
Singapore Management University is an 8-year-old university, with a charter to become a world-class research and teaching institution. Our new, US$250 million city campus opened in downtown Singapore in June 2005. We are hiring in the areas of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources. Please see below for details about Singapore Management University, living in Singapore, and application procedures.
SINGAPORE MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY
Singapore Management University's vision is to be a premier university, internationally recognized for its world-class research and distinguished teaching. Incorporated in January 2000, SMU is a young, vibrant, US-style research university. Our faculty publish in the top international journals in their field, and SMU provides them with ample support to do so. As a new university, our present teaching focus is on undergraduates, however we recently added an MBA programme and we expect to add a Ph.D. programme within the next couple of years. Our teaching has already been recognized as distinctive within Asia, owing to our relatively small class sizes, our emphasis on experiential learning across the entire curriculum, and our emphasis on the building of leadership and organizational skills in addition to more technical skills.
Our OBHR faculty comprise Michael Benoliel (GWU, 1988), Graham Brown (UBC, 2005), Don Ferrin (Minnesota, 2000), Lance Ferris (Waterloo, 2008), Gary Greguras (Bowling Green, 1998), Wei Hua (UCLA, 2005), Thomas Menkhoff (Bielefeld, 1990), Layne Paddock (Arizona, 2005), Jochen Reb (Arizona, 2005), and Hwee Hoon Tan (Purdue, 1996). All of us are active researchers, whose interests include organizational trust, leadership, cross-cultural and intercultural management, territoriality within organizations, social networks, negotiation, organizational justice, organizational deviance, performance appraisal, knowledge management, emotions, personnel selection, and decision making. Our research has appeared in Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, Leadership Quarterly, Organization Science, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and Personnel Psychology, among others.
We seek to hire talented faculty at any level, ranging from junior to very senior appointments. We invite applications for tenured/tenure-track positions. Successful candidates for tenured or tenure-track appointments will be engaged in interesting and rigorous research, and will have established, high-quality publishing records (for experienced candidates) or will possess demonstrated abilities to publish in top-tier journals (for junior candidates). The teaching load for tenured and tenure-track positions is 3 or 4 courses per year.
The starting date is flexible. SMU offers an internationally competitive compensation package including relocation benefits and child education funding. Further information about the University can be viewed at
